Insights into DNA-mediated interparticle interactions from a coarse-grained model.
DNA-functionalized particles have great potential for the design of complex self-assembled materials. The major hurdle in realizing crystal structures from DNA-functionalized particles is expected to be kinetic barriers that trap the system in metastable amorphous states. Therefore, it is vital to explore the molecular details of particle assembly processes in order to understand the underlying...
متن کاملNew insights into lipid monolayers from coarse-grained simulation techniques.
The use of molecular dynamics simulations in structural biology and biophysics has come of age. Indeed, computational modeling is going beyond classical static tasks such as structure refinement for x-ray and NMR spectroscopy, or docking of small molecules against rigid protein surfaces in search of new drugs. Nowadays, whole ribosomes are subjects of serious studies represented by numerical se...
متن کاملA coarse-grained model for DNA origami
Modeling tools provide a valuable support for DNA origami design. However, current solutions have limited application for conformational analysis of the designs. In this work we present a tool for a thorough study of DNA origami structure and dynamics. The tool is based on a novel coarse-grained model dedicated to geometry optimization and conformational analysis of DNA origami. We explored the...
متن کاملCoarse-Grained Model of SNARE-Mediated Docking.
Synaptic transmission requires that vesicles filled with neurotransmitter molecules be docked to the plasma membrane by the SNARE protein complex. The SNARE complex applies attractive forces to overcome the long-range repulsion between the vesicle and membrane. To understand how the balance between the attractive and repulsive forces defines the equilibrium docked state we have developed a mode...
متن کاملThe "sugar" coarse-grained DNA model.
More than 20 coarse-grained (CG) DNA models have been developed for simulating the behavior of this molecule under various conditions, including those required for nanotechnology. However, none of these models reproduces the DNA polymorphism associated with conformational changes in the ribose rings of the DNA backbone. These changes make an essential contribution to the DNA local deformability...
